BEST BOOKS OF 1916

SELKCTED FOR A SMALL PUBLIC LIBRARY

PREFATORY NOTE

THE HOW AND WHY OF Bcst Books ^

" The wonder may have grown in some minds why the State Library has felt it worth its while to continue the publication of the annual Best Books list in the face of the multitude of other good current aids to book selection now published, such as the A, L. A. Booklist, the Wisconsin Library Bulletin and the Book Reznezv Digest. But fortunately today, age is not superseded by youth, and Best Books, easily ten years the senior of any of these newer library helps, still feels too young and too useful to retire from the lists. We feel that Best Books is distinctive and is still needed for the following reasons:

" I It is compiled with the special needs in mind of the small libraries of New York State. Obviouslv none of the other lists has this purpose. Bulletins which select books for the whole country or for some single western state are too comprehensive or contain titles which have little interest or value to the small communities of New York State, and are confusing to the librarian.

" Books of local interest here which are naturally overlooked in other lists can receive recognition in Best Books. Good examples of the kind of books which it has been our peculiar province to

* Extracts from paper read by Mary Eastwood at meeting of New York Library Association, Richfield Springs, September 12, 1916.

O NEW YORK STATE LIBRARY

bring to the attention of libraries in this State are: the privately printed and entertaining diary of Caroline Cowles Richards, giving valuable pictures of village life in Canandaigua from 1852-72, later published by Holt and more widely known and appreciated under the title Village life in America; Gebhard's Parsonage between tivo manors, consisting of historical annals and family reminiscences of the Van Rensselaer and Livingston. manors in colonial and post revolutionary times; and the little handbook by W. S. Carpenter entitled The summer paradise in history, obviously an advertisement of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad, but a useful reference book on the Lake George and Lake Champlain region.

" 2 The list aims to help the small libraries of the State to buy only the best books for their communities. In deciding what are the best books of the year there must of course be in the compiler's mind a definition of *best.' The first limitation which we have imposed is that of * best for the small communities.' This of itself brings on the word some further limitations, one of which is that of expense. Each year some of the most eminently readable and distinguished books are ruled out because of their excessive cost. We have passed over some of the expensive popular books of travel and accounts of exploration in the Arctic and Antarctic. Some of them, however, we have listed with the hope that if the library can not afford to buy them some public-spirited friend might bestow them as a gift. Many good biographies are too high priced for the small library. There are other books which are costly because in size they do not give the library * value received ' in amount of textual matter. Are the compilers of Best Books too materialistic in taking expense so carefully into consideration?

"Another limitation which is entailed in the phrase ' best for the small library ' is the restricted appeal of many of the books remark- able for their literary quality. Sometimes these are remote from most readers' interests because of mystical and symbolical char- acteristics. Occasionally a book is unintelligible to the average reader because of intricacies of style. Other best books do not seem suitable for our list because of their choice of subject. They may be scholarly and the only books of their kind but because of specializing in too narrow a field would not warrant purchase by the small library except under special conditions. A suggested list of the best reading for the largest number therefore forbids the wholesale recommendation of books like these.

" The word ' best ' must also be confined in this setting to books which are generally considered wholesome. The cleverest and most

BEST BOOKS OF I916 7

entertaining books of the year are often tainted for many readers. What is meat for one is poison for another and much of the present- day realism in fiction seems to be poisonous to some people. The list, however, must include some books of fine literary quality even if not generally popular and also the best type of light popular book which will be the only kind read by the person who wants the latest thriller. * Best ' can therefore be interpreted for our purpose as good, safe, wholesome, interesting or useful, and not too expensive.

"3 The third reason why we think Best Books justifies its exist- ence is that, as it is published annually, its compilers have time and opportunity to see the books of the year in perspective and can thus judge as to the relative value of the books appearing on each general subject. A list appearing each month or each quarter can not possibly have this advantage,

" 4 Again we would urge the important consideration that every book on our list has been carefully examined or read by one or more trained readers on the State Library staff, and if the book be nonfiction, has been compared in respect to merit with other books on the same subject. In addition, it has been submitted to the vote of several experts and to a number of experienced librarians both within and without the State. Its selection therefore can not be interpreted as the choice of one person but as the result of the com- bined judgment of the best authorities that we can consult.

" 5 It contains fewer titles than any of the other library aids in book selection and therefore makes selection easier and less liable to mistake for the librarian who can purchase each year but a very few of the newer books. As a few advance titles of the list that are being favorably considered appear each quarter in New York Libraries, the compilers have the advantage also of such criticism as may be called out from the libraries by these quarterly recommendations.

" 6 As it is published in a single pamphlet, it is well fitted to serve the library as a check list of the year's purchases and as a guide to supplementing them. This check list may also be used to serve as a catalog of the library's purchases. Kept on file from year to year, it can be further useful in building up the library's collection in special subjects and for reference use in compiling lists for schools and clubs.

"7 The section on children's books is a special feature of each number and should be of very practical help. It represents not only the selection of the compilers but is also based on the collaborative

8 NEW YORK STATE LIBRARY

assistance of about twenty of the leading children's librarians of the country. It is scarcely necessary for small libraries to keep up with the current output of children's stories. There are many older, tried books which can be bought in attractive form and which will hold the children's interest. The children's books in each annual list, however, have received most careful consideration and are among the most wholesome, interesting and best written of the year's publications. They constitute a safe list if the library must have new juvenile books. While all the titles listed (notably fiction) can not be recommended for school use, the bulletin should still be of much service to school libraries. All titles under the heading * Children's books ' are recommended to those school libraries which undertake to provide wholesome entertainment as well as useful information.

" As to the * how ' of Best Books: the process of selection begins with the checking in each number of the Publishers' Weekly of the titles which seem worthy of further consideration and investigation. Each entry is mounted on a separate slip of paper, and reviews are recorded on the slip from the Book Review Digest and our own index to book reviews. The books themselves are examined by trained readers and their decision as to the availability of the book for our list is also recorded on the slip and descriptive and critical notes written for further reference. Tentative lists are next made by subjects which include titles that must be considered for Best Books, yet are many more than can be noted in the bulletin. These lists are sent to voters who are sj)ecialists in their subjects, as well as to a number of librarians who know the conditions of small libraries. The opinions of these voters are tabulated on the slips for each book and the final decision is made in the light of what we have read in the book, have heard of it and have read about it. Annotations are then written which aim to give such a careful and accurate description that the librarian may be able to distinguish it from other books on the subject and to decide herself whether the book is one which she considers suitable for her library."

Best Books includes 250 titles chosen from the publications of the preceding year. One hundred of these books are starred as suggestions for first purchase. They are the books which will probably receive the widest reading or will be the most generally useful, but the selection in each case will vary and must be made to fit the needs of the community.

Each entry in the list gives author, title, publisher, price, series

BEST BOOKS OF I916 9

(if any), classification number, Library of Congress order number, references to the best available reviews and a descriptive or critical note. When several good books on the same or closely related sub- jects have appeared, one is chosen to head the group, and the others are described in appended notes which attempt so to characterize each of the books that the librarian may select the one best adapted to her need.

This list for 1916 has been prepared under the direction of Miss Mary Eastwood.

BOOKS ON HEALTH AS RELATED TO THE SCHOOL CHttD

PREFATORY NOTE

To teachers, nurses and public health workers:

New York State has at work in its public schools hundreds of trained men and women seeking to conserve the health of two million pupils. These workers are school and public health nurses, medical inspectors, dietitians, oral hygienists, mental hygienists, physical directors and inspectors of school buildings and grounds. Each of these groups is directed by a supervisor from the office of the State Medical Inspector of Schools in Albany. To this office come many requests from workers in all these groups for the names of the best books in their special subjects — books that may be recommended confidently to teachers with the assurance that not only are they the best books for the immediate purpose but that an ample supply of them is somewhere readily available.

To meet just this need and to tell where these books may be had, this list has been prepared by the State Library with the help of the supervisors referred to above.

The State Library is ready not only thus to suggest titles but to supply the books themselves. They are all now on its shelves. The Library is ready to buy as many copies of each or any title as may be required and lend them to any school teacher or official in New York State on the following terms :

If the desired book is not in a local library (and this should be learned before sending to Albany for it) any public library will borrow it for you from the State Library at the cost of return

6 NEW YORK STATE LIBRARY

postage (going carriage is paid by the State Library) or if you are a teacher registered at the State Education Department you can borrow it direct without formality or red tape by addressing NeTV York State Library, Albany, N. Y. Quote the author and title of any books desired. List 5 or 6 titles and indicate by r, 2, 3 etc. the order of your preference, for sometimes all copies of certain books will be in use. Books may be kept four weeks if necessary but should be returned as soon as you are through with them. They are subject to recall after two weeks if needed by other readers. The list gives information as to publishers and prices with the thought that many will wish to buy books found most helpful.

As a rule, general treatises on medicine, education and nursing have been omitted, the few which are listed having been included because they contain chapters dealing directly with the topics under which they are classified.

Necessarily but a small fraction of the wealth of the State Library on these subjects is represented here. Many valuable articles appear in pamphlets, periodicals, and reports and proceedings of organizations, from which additional references on any topic desired will be selected by the Library upon request. When in Albany an hour in the Library will acquaint you helpfully with its resources.

Readers will confer a favor upon other workers in their own fields by reporting to the Library any books which they may find particularly helpful and by suggesting new books to add to the collection.

New York State Library

Albany, May 14, ipiQ Hon. John H. Finley

President of the University

Dear Sir: In 1910 the State Library printed 500 copies of a slender list of books suggested for first purchase by very small libra- ries in New York State. Not " great " books nor the " best " books but wholesome, standard, classic and contemporary books within the means and needs of the smallest libraries. This first edition, ex- hausted in a few months by our field workers, was followed by an edition of 2000 copies of a somewhat longer similar list in 1912. Testimony to its wide use may be found in the fact that 5000 ad- ditional copies were printed from our type by the American Library Association and the library commissions of many other states. The list has been out of print and in continued request since 1914 but the stress of war duties at home and abroad has prevented earlier re- vision. This third edition somewhat extended and I hope improved is now respectfully submitted for publication.

Very truly yours

BDITION THItBB COMPILED BY

CAROLINE WEBSTER

PREFACE

The establishment of a library in a village is the evidence of the faith of a few in the power of the book, and the strength of the village library like the strength of its city neighbor lies in a good book collection. If a library has unlimited resources with which to buy books the inclusion or exclusion of certain titles is not a vital matter but where as in so many villages in New York State the total expenditure for books for a library for a year is from $100 to $200 every title must be carefully considered.

"WTien a librarian compiles a list today it is borne in upon her very forcibly that the number of books that she can purchase for a given sum is much less than it was when the first edition of this list was compiled. So there is greater need than ever for the exercise of caution in selecting and wisdom in buying.

Anyone familiar with the libraries in this State knows that no hard and fast rules can be made for the purchase of books. There are no " best books " for every community but there are in every community where the library spirit is abroad, trustees, book com- mittees and librarians asking the many questions that arise in book

6 NEW YORK STATE LIBRARY

buying and advice on what, where and how to buy. It was to answer these questions that the first edition of this list was compiled and it is because the same questions are still arising that it is thought advisable to publish a new edition.

Changes. While the character of the list remains the same there have been many changes from the previous editions. The number of titles is more than doubled and many descriptive notes have been added. The fewest changes have been made in the children's books. It is easy to see the reason for this, the children change, the books remain the same, the old favorites become the latest discoveries of a new group of children. It is not necessary in a library to buy the latest juvenile story, to buy the best should be the aim of those who have the interest of the children at heart.

The list on history and travel has been made longer than in the previous editions to meet the awakened interest in our world neighbors. The sections on engineering and trades are almost en- tirely new, and are inserted with the belief that even the smallest library may give definite practical aid to the working and business men in its community. The librarian should study local conditions and buy such books as are likely to be of interest in the commimity. Any village can use books on building trades, plumbing and automo- bile repair work, but only factory villages are likely to have use for books on machine shop work or steam engines. The inclusion of these sections was suggested by the vocational lists issued by the A. L. A. War Service, and titles from those lists have been used wherever practical for small libraries. Acknowledgment and thanks are due Pratt Institute Library for the use of its annual technical lists in compiling these sections.

Because of the rapidly changing character of many periodicals it was not thought advisable to include again a list recommended for purchase. Upon request to the Educational Extension Division, State Education Department, Albany, N. Y., a copy of the list of " Periodi- cals for the small library " compiled by Frank K. Walter, will be sent to any library in the State. This list has full descriptive notes of periodicals and will prove invaluable to any library considering periodical subscriptions.

Suggestions for purchasing. In this list the effort has been to choose the most satisfactory inexpensive edition? of the standard authors. Libraries with ample means should find it better to buy more expensive editions. It is believed, however, that all editions recommended are fairly satisfactory. In many cases a better

BUYING LIST OF BOOKS ^

edition and its price are noted after the cheaper one. In science, political and social subjects and the useful arts, buy always the latest edition.

Often it pays to buy of dealers in secondhand books and remain- ders of editions. Responsible dealers will guarantee books to be in good condition.

Regular list prices as they appear in the latest available sources have been given, but under present conditions book prices are chang- ing constantly and consequently too much reliance should not be placed on the figures given in this list. Libraries are usually allowed a discount from the list prices.

The advice, often given but seldom heeded, on the purchase of subscription books and complete sets, is as timely as when first printed some twenty years ago. " Do not buy subscription books ; avoid books issued in parts ; ask advice before purchasing expensive reprints. Finest Orations, Noblest Essays, Royal Flim Flams, Huge Anthologies and the like all come to the secondhand man. Get them of him, if you must. In a small library they are generally almost useless."

Complete sets. " Do not buy sets or complete editions of authors. Buy the volumes you need and as you need them. A complete set always includes several volumes you do not need. Specify the edition you wish of standard books when you can, unless you find a bookseller able and willing to select them wisely for you."

Other aids to book selection. In so short a list as this many books must be omitted that are fully as desirable as those included. Those wishing longer lists or descriptive notes on books in this list, should consult the following:

Cataloging and classification. As the list is intended solely as an aid in buying, detailed cataloging rules have not always been fol- lowed. It should therefore not be used as an infallible guide for the form of the author's name.

In a small library it is not well to subdivide classes too much. Where two class numbers are given, the first is advised unless in a particular library books of the same sort have already been given the second. The object of classification is, of course, to bring like books together. When new numbers are given, they should corre- spond with those used previously; that is, a library using B for biography must continue to do so (unless all biography numbers are changed) when new biographies are added even though the Booklist or this list numbers it 921. The classification of children's books differs slightly from the classification used in the adult col- lection.

Acknowledgment is here made of the use of a few annotations taken from the Booklist, New York State Library's annual Best books, Wisconsin library bulletin, and publications of Pratt Insti- tute Free Library, Cleveland Public Library and Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh.

Literature

In a very small library it is not advisable to separate works of literature according to country but merely according to form; for instance, do not separate English and French poetry from Ameri- can but put it all in 811.

Where the number of books of poetry is limited, it is well to put all collections as well as the works of an individual poet in 8x1 but as the number grows the collections can be separated and put in 811.08. This will still keep all the books of poetry in one place in the library.

BOOKS RELATING TO NEW YORK STATE

There is no library too small, too new or too poor to have its local history collection. This can be built up with very little outlay if the librarian or trustees will give it some thought and vigilant attention. The material is already in the community, in garrets, offices, homes, printing offices, etc. The chief task is to bring it together in the librar>' — arrange it attractively — and to get and keep interested in its growth those people (found in every village) who care greatly for such material. Such a collection as com- plete as it can be made, and well kept, is a solid satisfaction and a proper pride for both library and community.

All books, pamphlets, pictures, photographs and posters have a place here. The local newspapers, town and county histories, genealogies of local families will doubtless be gladly contributed if the library is known to be desirous of such items. Even fugitive and seemingly unimportant things like programs of plays, hand- bills, church bulletins, banquet menus gather interest and value with age.

Beg these things, borrow them, but buy only as a last resort. Make your wants known, keep the material well arranged and attractively displayed and gifts of a similar sort will often be made by families, institutions and interests.

In accumulating a local history collection libraries should get in touch with the local historical society (if there is one) to avoid duplication of effort. One such collection in each community is of course enough and it should be kept in the safest, yet most accessible public place and in charge of active persons really inter- ested in its growth and use.

From the village to the State is the natural course of develop- ment and in a zeal for strictly local material one must not forget the State as a whole, for there are certain books about the State that will make an appeal in every community.

The Indian occupation is always interesting. Beauchamp's His- tory of the New York Iroquois should be in practically every library' in the State. For a community where there is a special interest in the Indians, Morgan's League of the Iroquois is well worth buying, although costing $5, for it is the best and most

n

authoritative work on the subject. Stone's Life of Red Jacket and his Life of Brant will be needed by any librar\' that is making a feature of the Iroquois occupation. These books have not been included in the following list because they are out of print but they can often be bought from secondhand dealers. The same is true of Turner's History of the Phelps and Gorham purchase, which is indispensable to libraries in the western part of the State that are interested in the histor}- of the early settlers and the pur- chases of the lands from the Indians.

The volumes of Parkman and Fiske included in the general list one would expect to find in every library in the State, for it is from Parkman's glowing pages that we learn of the expedition to Canada through the trackless regions of Lake George and Lake Champlain, and of La Salle's journeys along the Niagara frontier. Fiske's Dutch and Quaker colonics gives a picture of colonial life on this continent that can not be excelled in interest and fascina- tion by any colonial narrative, not even Virginia's.

There are some early biographies, too, that make more than a local appeal. The diary of Caroline Cowles Richards (Mrs Clarke) first published in the Naples, N. Y., weekly paper and afterwards privately printed in book form, now published under the title Village life in America (Holt $1.50) gives a picture of life in Canandaigua, N. Y., in the late fifties and early sixties, and because of its originality, humor and sincerity it makes a universal appeal. Gebhard's Parsonage between two manors, now unfortu- nately out of print, is a delightful record of life in the Rensselaer and Livingston manors (Claverack and vicinity) during the days of the revolution and early nineteenth century. Mrs Anne Grant's Memoirs of an American lady (also out of print) written more than a hundred years ago preserves its freshness and charm in a most amazing manner, transports us in a delightful way to the society of Colonel Schuyler and Sir William Johnson, and describes life in the vicinity of Albany in prerevolutionary d?»ys.

Books making a general appeal in which the New York interest is secondary are Channing and Lansing's Story of the Great Lakes with its chapter on the Iroquois trail, and Hepburn's Artificial waterways, which treats of the Erie canal very fully but has chap- ters also on the Panama canal and the world's waterways in general.

There are other books of purely local interest which have not been included because they are too local; they would have great

value in one part of the State but little in another. For instance: Caniield's Things worth knowing about Oneida county would be of little use in village libraries in the Adirondack region, while in libraries in Oneida county it might be in constant demand.

The following list does not pretend to be exhaustive ; it contains a few of the good histories, some of the more striking and interest- ing of the less expensive books on the life of the early settlers, and books descriptive of the natural scenery of the State. Only a few books covering the political history and commercial develop- ment have been listed and no attempt has been made to include biographies of New York people, nor fiction which relates to the State.

PREFATORY NOTE

THE LIBRARIAN'S PRESENT DILEMMA IN BOOK- BUYING'

"A fox looked at his shadow at sunrise and said, * I will have a camel for lunch today.' And all morning he went about looking for camels. But at noon he saw his shadow again — and he said, 'A mouse will do.' "

Librarians for four years have been looking not at their own shadow but at the shadow of the world war. They have been thinking, living, buying in that shadow. It has dominated them and their libraries. But one day almost without warning, they looked up, and lo, there was no shadow, so that many things that had seemed so important in the morning appeared of little significance at noon. New interests, new problems, fresh adjustments began to present their challenge.

In these transitional days, it will be only the alert, wide-awake Kbrarian watchful of the signs of the times who can work out her professional salvation and that of her library. When a great book- seller fails because of miscalculations in his purchases, the librarian must take warning and be especially cautious in her selection. What was wanted in large duplication yesterday may lie idle on the shelves tomorrow.

* Paper by Mary Eastwood in New York Libraries, February 1919.

4 NEW YORK STATE LIBRARY

The first question that naturally comes to mind is " Will every- body now stop reading about the war ? " Well, there will surely be a falling off of interest in certain types of war books, but the follow- ing quotation is the Cleveland Public Library's answer to the query :

" Most unexpectedly, the brisk demand for war books has flagged very little and on some phases of the subject has even increased.

" The steady and ever increasing demand at present is for books reviewing and analyzing the causes of the war, furnishing its his- torical, social, geographic and economic background and defining the psychology, spirit and aims of the cotmtries which were in arms. An even more pressing and well-defined demand is for books on the outcome of the war, both those analyzing the general problems of the peace, and suggesting solutions therefor and those discussing the individual destinies of long-disputed territories or new-bom democracies.

" Many of the personal narratives will live as stirring tales of adventure ; many of the books on the " spiritual outcome " will not only tone up after-war morals, but will have a practical value in our period of adjustment ; not a little of the war poetry will have a place in general anthologies because of its * stem and high genesis ' and its exaltation of human deeds and motives, less often perhaps, for its beauty of work, form and melody ; a fair quantity of the fiction, especially that by French, and in fewer cases, by English writers, will live as high romance or as records of human reaction under the pressure of motives and conditions hitherto little analyzed."

But looming larger in general interest today than the war itself, are the problems of peace and reconstruction. These should have a conspicuous place in the selection of new titles. Involved in their solution are the subjects of rehabilitation of the wounded, the enforcement of peace, democracy and internationalism, the league of nations, the labor situation, the position of woman in industry, war finance and its relation to the high cost of living, and the future work of the church. In every community there must be thinking persons who will want enlightenment on these questions. Every librarian should be able to offer the best treatment of each. Help in the selection of books on these topics and others closely related can be found in the Study outline in the problems of the reconstruct tion period, revised ed., 1918, Association Press, N. Y., 2Sc, which appends short selected lists of books, pamphlets and magazines after each brief outline.

BEST BOOKS OF I918 5

For the smaller libraries of this State, the traveling libraries section of the State Library has provided a happy solution of this problem by the compilation of a list,* which it is constantly revising, of the most important books now available on these topics, and by the purchase of such a generous supply of each of the titles listed that it is able to offer as loans to registered small hbraries a limited number of such as may be desired. The list will therefore serve as an excellent suggestive buying list, or as a borrowing list, or both. The smallest and poorest library is thus left without excuse if it does not have something valuable for its readers in this field of present acute human interest

To every commimity in the months to come our soldiers will be returning and many of them will wish to prepare themselves for new careers. The public library will fail to function as it should if it does not stand ready to supply immediately any book of voca- tional instruction needed by that soldier to make himself a better educated and more efficiently equipped member of society. Here is opened to the library not a possibility of service but an imperative duty which every librarian who realizes the importance of her responsibilities must meet. The librarian can secure lists of voca- tional books from the American Library Association, War Service, Library of Congress, Washington, D. C.

NEW YORK STATE LIBRARY

BEST BOOKS

The selection of 250 titles for recommendation in Best Books has been more than ordinarily difficult this year, because events have moved so rapidly, emphases have shifted so constantly and some books have become so unexpectedly out of date. The list as usual has been based on careful examination of the promising publications of the year, and upon the opinions of experts in special subjects and of librarians familiar with the books and the conditions of small libraries. A few of the titles may be out of date when the bulletin is printed; but, while the compiler is endowed with no prophetic powers, pains have been taken to select such books as it is hoped will still be needed when the bulletin is printed and will continue to be useful for some time to come.

One hundred books are starred as suggestions for first purchase. They are the books which will probably receive the widest reading or will be the most generally useful, but the selection in each case will vary and must be made to fit the needs of the community. Some books have been included for which some small libraries will feel no need. They have been listed because they are among the best books of the year and are excellent suggestions for purchase if the library wishes to buy a book on the subject.

Each entry in the list gives author, title, publisher, price, series (if any), classification number. Library of Congress order number, references to the best available reviews and a descriptive or critical note. When several good books on the same or closely related subjects have appeared, one is chosen to head the group, and the others are described in appended notes which attempt so to charac- terize each of the books that the librarian may select the one best adapted to her need.

Some of the most notable books of the year are the most expen- sive. As most small libraries should have some of them, they have been listed in order that the librarian may interest some generous, public-spirited person in presenting them to the library, or in the hope that the library itself may be able to buy them when they appear more cheaply on remainder or second-hand lists.

Prices on books are constantly advancing, and buyers may expect that many of the titles included here will have increased 10 per cent or more by the fall of 191 9.

This list for 191 8 has been prepared under the direction of Miss Mary Eastwood.
